[Vegetable harvesting + farm lunch experience] - Experience real agriculture in a casual setting! - [Agricultural experience] Experience agriculture at Scoop Farm, which is committed to organic farming. This experience takes place in a tranquil setting that is sometimes used for filming TV dramas and promotional videos. You will get a taste of the actual farm work for about 10-15 minutes, focusing on the tasks that cannot be mechanized. In addition to spreading compost, picking up tree roots, removing weeds, and preparing the soil to revive abandoned farmland to its former Satoyama form, you will also do a wide range of tasks, including watering to prevent drought, sowing seeds and planting seedlings, and shipping products. You will experience farm work by focusing on "what is actually being done" rather than "an experience prepared for the experience." After participating a few times, you may be able to become a farmer yourself. - [Harvesting experience] Try harvesting seasonal vegetables! Our staff will kindly teach you the tricks to finding ripe vegetables. We will also teach you the necessary knowledge to enter organic farmland. You can take home the vegetables you harvest! *November to December is the off-season (when crops are replaced) for the fields, so the experience will be centered around farm work. If you are unable to harvest, you can receive vegetables from a nearby partner farm as a souvenir. [Food Experience] Enjoy lunch at "Farm Restaurant and Cafe Zeze," which serves vegetables from the farm. *The vegetables you harvest will change depending on the crop situation on that day.
